[Samba] sid->username conversion on beta2 as a domain member in a samba domain?

We run a samba-2.2.x+LDAP domain, and I have been experimenting with
samba3 as a member server on one of our production servers (when it has
no open connections). I also have samba-2.2.x on it, which works fine.

However, beta2 seems to not resolve sids to usernames, so the security
tab in the file properties dialog from a windows box shows the sid, and
not the username. 2.2.x shows the username. Since we use ACLs quite a
bit, this is enough to prevent me running beta2 full-time, I haven't
even tested if file permissions/ACLs work on beta2 for user-based access
controls.

Anyone else seen this?

I can provide logs if necessary, but can't spend the time now to
investigate (maybe tomorrow).

Regards,
Buchan
